Piaggio India has set up a modern manufacturing plant at Baramati for production of the Vespa. The plant has an initial capacity of 1,50,000 units. The company plans to launch the 125cc scooter in March, 2012, in five colours, and will initially make it available in 35 key cities.

While the Vespa brand will have 50 dealerships in India by end-2012, there will also five superbike dealerships by the end of the year. Piaggio might also consider introducing the Moto Guzzi 1200 Norge GT as a CBU in the coming months depending on the response the product gets at the Expo.

With its retro looks the scooters can be a success, hope they price them sensibly.

I read somewhere that these would be targeted at the premium end of the market and the 125cc model would be priced Rs 4000-5000 more than the nearest competitor (Suzuki Access). I for once wouldn't mind paying the premium for one of these lovelies.
